Response to “Japajapa: Perennial
attention seeker” Paddington Japajapa is a joke who in the past has shown that he can go to great lengths to be in the spotlight. He seems not to remember a video that went viral with him bragging about his manhood and the number of women he had slept with. The man is disgusting! — @Clavernyuki.
*** Response to “Rowdy MDC activists disrupt hearings” MDC will try by all means to cover up their violent activities. They do not want to take responsibility for the violent protests and the consequences thereafter. One wonders why they would want to disrupt proceedings. — @Tatenda.
*** Response to “ED launches
e-learning kits” Education is key in the economic development of the country. Thumbs up to the President for prioritising the girl child. We will achieve a middle class economy by 2030! — @nigelkizito.

Response to “Budget: Ncube
faces daunting task” In terms of cost-cutting measures the Government should start from the top. People are ready to accept the painful measures if they affect everybody. People in high offices should forego their luxurious lifestyles and make the much needed sacrifices and we would appreciate this. — Martin Nyamatedya.
*** Response to “Rural schools handover guidelines set” My view is that Government schools must remain Government schools. Churches can be allowed to fund their own schools and not to take over. Government should find other means of funding these schools instead of handing them over to churches. — Tendai Chirau.

We are now in the digital era therefore the donation of e-learning kits will help students to appreciate the world of technological advancement. The world has shifted into usage of computers and Internet and these students will squarely fit when they leave school to join the job market. Thank you President Mnangagwa for such a gesture. — Elijah Chihota.
Responses to “COMMENT: We can expect austerity this afternoon” Sounds well thought out, but my point of departure is on the cutting of the civil service. This can be cut if there is the will to do so. There are so many processes that need re-engineering and there is a lot of bureaucratic red tape that can result in up to 40 percent cut in the civil service. Engage consultants if you do not have internal resources and see the magic that will come out of their initiatives. We need a leaner agile civil service. — Progressive Zimbabwean.
*** Government is already working on a leaner civil service, people should also understand that it’s not an event, but a process. ED already led by example when he trimmed his Cabinet to a small and robust team that is working around the clock to do work that was initially expected to be accomplished by a bloated Cabinet of yesteryear. The liquidating, privatisation, merger and recapitalisation of parastatals is also another way of Government cutting down on the civil service, let’s all understand it’s a process. People are very optimistic that the Budget presentation will take care of all pertinent issues that are currently weighing the economy and the people down. — Prosperity Mzila.
*** Response to “Zupco eyes
partial privatisation” In these times of economic crisis, there is need to revise the currency policy before all. Then everything follows a path that has visible benchmarks and we can now understand we are going somewhere. We are expecting the Budget to gleam our way to the future. — Anold Tinoda Mupfawi.
